India’s smartphone market is undergoing a major shift in 2024–2025, with offline stores overtaking online platforms like Flipkart and Amazon, especially for premium devices. While online sales still dominate budget and mid-range segments thanks to exclusive launches, wide selections, and festive-season discounts, offline sales have surged to 58% of the market in Q1 2025 due to factors like hands-on experience, trust in local retailers, competitive pricing, financing options, and exclusive in-store models. Brands such as Vivo, OPPO, Samsung, Realme, and Xiaomi are aggressively expanding offline presence—opening more stores, hiring promoters, and tailoring campaigns to Tier 2/3 cities—while even online-first players like POCO plan to enter offline retail. The result is a more balanced market where online retains relevance for deals and reach, but offline wins on trust, personal service, and the “touch-and-feel” buying experience.
